Hamlet Cherry

As Michael walks the silent streets, he wonders what is occurring. Michael just arrived from his long trip from Spain he has not been around for about 20 years. He left his neighborhood when he was a small child his parents took him to have a better education.

As he came back to the neighborhood, he walked around to remember the places he use to play in. But as he walked around he did not see people not even a car wondering.

He asked himself, “Where is everyone? Where did they go?”

As he walked back home he had so many questions in mind. He arrived at his house and went straight to his room. He began his research about his neighborhood, Hamlet Cherry. His computer started to pop out with articles, newspapers, and blogs. There was so much about Hamlet Cherry.

He was surprised by all the information that was being told about Hamlet Cherry. But what surprised him the most was one of his childhood friends’ names was also in the news, Eric Montgaremy.

” What is Eric Montgaremy’s name doing on newspapers?”

He kept on researching and trying to figure things out but he found the main one that could answer all his questions.

As he read the article from a news reporter. It was all a shock. But he just continued to read and read more of the article.

    Hi Mellina, I loved the sense of mystery here. We go from, "What is she doing all alone in this neighborhood?' to "Who the hell is Eric, and what is he doing on the news?". Does the neighborhood, Hamlet Cherry, have something to do with Eric being on the news? Is it connected. Your story leaves us open to interpretation, but also wanting more. Great job!

    Hey. I am very interested in your piece because of how you slowly bring everything to light. How he came back to his neighborhood. Included why he left in the first place. It’s all a big story line. I just wish we were able to figure out why his friend was in the news. Was it good or bad. Maybe if you can implement that, you would be able to develop Eric’s character. And how Michael reacts to it would be crucial as well.
